your 2003 model year Ram is much newer than mine
but for a press kit I would recommend:

The more complete Ball Joint & CV Press kit
from Advance Auto Parts/PartsAmerica stores
as a free loaner {$160 deposit}
had the correct spacers to do the job.

This large & heavy black plastic case
labeled
"23 piece PowerBuilt Ball Joint and CV Press Kit"

is Alltrade Part Number 9150043
which also Advance Auto Parts PN 648617

you can read my comments about the Ball Joint pressing at this old post:

remember to stand up and stretch frequently or you may be sore the next morning


good luck

Thanks for the feedback guys! I've ordered the upper and lower ball joints from eBay, MACAUTOPARTSDISCOUNTS. I'll borrow the press tool from Advance and hopefully all will go well.
